I finally managed to catch up with all my TV shows, blog posts, books, and puppies. I even got to sleep an extra hour this morning due to the day light savings time change. Things have settled down nicely, and aside from the occasional visit from former housemate Andy S. the house is quiet.

I caught last weeks episode of The Office, which was naturally hilarious. Think three words: Moustaches, ladies uniforms, road trip. For everyone who’s seen The Office, this last week starred former series cast member Rashida Jones (smoking hot). She was on as a competing branch manager of Dunder Mifflin and was trying to steal Stanley away from Michael (Steve Carrell). Moustaches are worn, ladies uniforms are put on, and hilarity ensues.

I also had three new red envelopes from Netflix waiting for me on Saturday. I put off watching them till today just because I was so tired. Up next are South Park season 10 (disc 3) and That 70s Show season 7 (discs 1 & 2). It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an episode of 70s show. It took me a long time to warm up to it. I’m used to watching emotionally complicated plots with lots of dialogue and intrigue. That 70s Show is essentially the opposite of that (not that it’s stupid). It’s all about a bunch on high school kids just hanging out in their basement. How complicated can it get? After getting used to the pace of the show, it really becomes a lot more palatable and funny. Although I’m still not a fan of Ashton Kutcher.

The afternoon was spent playing with the dogs and helping out with Mom and Dad’s yard projects. Today it was planting trees. The dogs were on hand as usual to help with the sniffing of newly planted trees, the filling in of holes, and the “watering” of the finally finished trees. They didn’t escape without a little watering themselves courtesy of me.

Tonight’s TV menu: The customary double dose of The Simpson’s (which I love but always miss), Family Guy (the writing is getting better), and American Dad (I’m still warming up to this one). Of course cable re-runs abound throughout.
